Agreed about the aircraft outlines - a bit tacky. As for the design I suggested, this was kept simple (and hopefully classy) to enable sales at events other than the night-shoots (such as Families Days etc) - whether to go with that or with a specific night-shoot design would depend on projected production volumes and costings.

Yes, although I would suggest an RBF Tag/Key Fob - far easier to attach to the camera bag !

Although I'm sure the signifigance is already on Phil's radar if there isn't time to organise something for March's event would there be sufficient interest in a Night Photoshoot XXV patch ?

Phil, you should get hold of Kerry Baker at Bomber Patches (bomberpatches.com)

Phil,

El Centro make patches for their photo calls. I think they have a basic design and just change the lettering to suit which one it’s for.

The booking email has gone out this evening. No prizes for spotting the typo on the date in the text. It will be on March 22nd 2018. The booking list will close on March 8th at the request of the RAFP.

If any one hasn't received the mail and were expecting it, please contact me

Why do you think that might be? Could it be because, as you were told over the weekend, this is the CONFIRMED list as we have it? Other aircraft - as you've been told - are invited but are yet to respond.

I don't know why you would post this question on here? If you think others have access to information you don't, then you are wrong. The thread - and therefore those people who've already booked or still to commit to coming - will be updated as and when we receive information.

Ruislip rustler this sort or response is just plain rude and does you no favours at all. It doesn't seem unreasonable to want to know who the possible appearances might be accepting that they may change closer to the time.

Easy guys.

AKnott68 - as RuislipRustler has stated, if you have received the booking email, it clearly states that they are awaiting confirmation on a number of possible attendees, and that updates will be posted on this thread - let’s leave it there please.

Quite right. Especially when people are being asked to cough up money, Sadly this event has a history of last minute 'no shows'.
